Mozilla Firefox is one of the most popular browsers. The latest version of Firefox is version 3.6 (actually version 3.6.3).
Early Firefox planned that after version 3.6 will be followed by version 3.7, but the developers of Mozilla decided that version 3.7 will be abolished, and features for the 3.7 will be included in an update for version 3.6.

After version 3.6, Firefox will immediately jump to the new versions of major releases, Firefox 4.There are three main keywords as the guide of the developers of Mozilla to improve performance, features, and advantages of Firefox 4 = fast, powerful and empowering:
• Fast
Make Firefox browser so that super-duper (fast).
• Powerful
The ability to use the latest web technologies including HTML 5 and other technologies.
• Empowering
Placing the user at the position where the user can perform complete control of the browser, data, and their web browsing experience.

The advantage of Firefox 4 Beta:
* Compared with firefox version 3.6.12, there are some changes that is more minimalist and elegant. Almost similar to the opera version 10.
* Supports HD-quality HTML5 video with WebM format.
* When the menu bar is not enabled then it will be replaced with the existing firefox button on the top left.
* There was feedback that is addressed to the Firefox [Firefox made me happy and Firefox made me sad]
* There are additional tabs group settings on the above of feedback button.

Lack of Firefox 4 Beta :
* If you chat on facebook, you will feel an uncomfortable because it is often off-on and off-on. frequent off on off on its own. Unlike the previous version which is more stable during the chat on facebook.
* Additional features group settings, I think less advantages.
* Most of the add on for firefox version 3.6 does not support the Firefox version 4 Beta.
